STEPPED ALARM METHOD FOR PATIENT MONITORS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for generating patient alarms using a stepped alarm scheme, said system comprising:
- one or more processors programmed to;
receive physiological scores and/or physiological parameter values;
compare the physiological scores and/or the physiological parameter values to a plurality of alarm levels;
in response to a physiological score and/or physiological parameter value falling within an uninhibited zone of the alarm levels, issue an alarm; and
,set a first inhibition period for the uninhibited alarm level after issuing the alarm.

Abstract
A system (202) generates patient alarms using a stepped alarm scheme. The system (202) includes one or more processors (220) programmed to receive physiological scores and/or physiological parameter values; compare the physiological scores and/or the physiological parameter values to a plurality of alarm levels; in response to a physiological score and/or physiological parameter value falling within an uninhibited zone of the alarm levels, issue an alarm; and set a first inhibition period for the uninhibited alarm level after issuing the alarm.

20. A system for rearming an inhibited alarm level, said system comprising:
-
one or more processors programmed to; receive physiological scores and/or physiological parameter values; compare the physiological scores and/or the physiological parameter values to a plurality of alarm levels; in response to a physiological score and/or physiological parameter value falling within an uninhibited zone of the alarm levels, issue an alarm; set an inhibition period for the uninhibited alarm level; in response to setting the inhibition period, wait a predetermined amount of time; determine whether intervention measures were administered during the predetermined amount of time; in response to determining intervention measures were not administered and a current physiological score and/or physiological parameter value worsened by a predetermined amount compared to the physiological score and/or physiological parameter value, rearm the uninhibited alarm level.
